Koobi Pursuit Saddle?

[Mags...]

After all these interesting comments, I've had a look at the Koobi site and sent an email enquiry about sizing for women. I got a reply from them straight off, which was very informative and I'm now seriously considering one of the PRS saddles. Has anyone tried them, they have the elastiemer inserts for suspension - you add them according to your weight, which apparently reduces fatigue to your sit bones. It's really pricey though, and I'm wondering if the theory behind it all actually works.

Any comments?

I too am interested in hearing more from anyone out there who has, and either loves or hates, a Koobi saddle. Yesterday I did a road race and was in the drops for an extended period of time, pushing along in a big gear, and the pressure was all on my pubic bone. I have a Terry Damselfly which works wonderfully when I'm not in the drops - the pressure is nicely on the sit bones. But in the drops, the pressure shifts to the front. Any feedback/advice/recommendations?

Koobi has a very good return policy if i remember correctly... though i've never returned anything.

Love Koobi!

Hi -- just found this website, looks interesting. I just ordered a Koobi PRS Enduro saddle, should get it next week sometime. I have been having issues with frontal pain also and hoping this saddle will resolve those problems. I have been using the Terry Butterfly on our tandem and the TFI Liberator on my Litespeed. I am really hoping that this saddle will prove to be as good as all the reviews say! Will let you know how it works out.

I got my Koobi PRS Euro last Friday and rode a long hill climb with it. Sorry to say I was VERY sore, but I'm sure I had the nose tipped to high. I changed the angle and have ridden it only once more on a 45 minute flat ride. I probably have a few more adjustments to make until I find the right spot, but overall I'm very pleased with it. I definitely know that I am sitting on my sit bones now where before I wasn't. I do have some chaffing on one of my inner thighs (not that I have big thighs), but I'm sure it's just a matter of adjustment. I can definitely tell that the Elastomer Spring Tech. is working, really smooths out the rough spots in the road so they are less noticeable and makes for a nicer ride. I only have about 50 miles on it so far but can't wait till this weekend when I can try it out again. I will keep you updated.

I have ridden my Koobi close to 700 miles now and I just love it. It broke in really quickly and it just seems to be more comfortable each ride. I will have to order another one for the tandem.
